Thin Bean Soup
This isn’t a recipe. It’s not even a serious post. You know how to make thin bean soup? Well, first you roast the beans. Then you grind them. Then you drip hot water over ’em… Coffee. I meant coffee. I could do without it. I could! I don’t really want to, but if I had…

Link Rodeo
Rounding up links of interest into the corral for you to peruse and try out… Here’s a fun question: what does coffee have in common with the Enlightenment and the American Revolution? Dave Freer muses on the books of old, and how heroes have changed since the days when he was a bright-eyed lad. He…
